Posted: Tue Jan 24, 2006 3:55 am Post subject: The Rules, Bitches!!!!!
To quote the great Erik Larsen: "Don't be a dick". That'll cover most everything, but just so's we're clear...
• Abusive and hostile behavior is not appreciated. Disagree politely. Try to solve problems privately, rather than publicly on the board.
• Threads concerning a drama or board conflict will NOT be deleted. If a discussion degenerates into an unresolvable argument or personal attacks, the thread may be locked or moved to the moderator forum at my discretion. Do try to behave.
• Parody threads ARE and always will be allowed. Do try to make them relatively clever.
• Take off your damn pants. This is a pants-free forum. Do not presume to defile it with pants.
• Multiple screennames are not allowed. What the hell would be the point of that? I may make an exception for myself, for humorous purposes. But I'm probably too lazy for that.
If you are found to have multiple screenames, they will be banned, but your main screename will not be affected. However, if you keep signing up for extra screennames, having already been warned, you may recieve a suspension. Of course, you'll probably just sign up for another few screennames in the meantime. So whatever.
• There doesn't need to be a rule about not harrassing fellow posters here, because I know we'll all be adult enough to be able to handle, deal with, and generally get along with/ignore each other. If someone crosses a line, report them to me via PM. Reprimands, if deemed necessary, will be at my discretion.
I think I just like saying "discretion". Discretion. Discretion. It's sexy...
• Jokes between adults are not considered harassment, because I respect your sexy, sexy intelligence. Have fun.
• Spoilers -- if a thread is going to contain spoilers from the start, please title it something like this: "[Spoilers] Thread Title" or "Thread Title (Spoilers)"
And within a thread, you can hide spoilers with spoiler tags. Let's not ruin the endings, people.
Spoiler:
Some of us still haven't seen King Kong.
• Spamming is not allowed. Pimp instead; it sounds cooler, too.
• Bullet points and bold text help make this list look all official.
You must abide by these rules, and the myfreeforum.com rules (don't post porn, don't be a racist, and don't post links to illegal downloads).
You're allowed room to make mistakes; we're all only human. Though repeat offenses aren't technically mistakes...
Basically, I'm not looking to ban anyone, so don't work too hard to make me have to. Only extreme cases of rule violation will result in a suspension ban; "permanent" bans will only be enacted in cases where the rule breaking is malevolent or otherwise genuinely harmful to this forum and/or its members. If you are ever "perma-banned" due to your own abuse of this forum or its members, you may appeal the decision by contacting me directly at tibbittz@yahoo.com, and I may unban you, or not, at my discretion (there's that sexy word again...). _________________ Court Jester of the Jadepocalypsewww.cellardoorpublishing.com

You'll notice this thread is stickied, but not locked. I invite questions, criticisms, and suggestions about these rules.
It's my board, but it's your board too. Just not as much. _________________ Court Jester of the Jadepocalypsewww.cellardoorpublishing.com
I think there should be a ban on the word 'sexy', but then again, you'd be banned in a New York Sex--er, Minute. _________________ Sigs With Pictures Are For Straight People
